5 Steps to Create Customer Service Surveys

Step 1: Quality of Products

We start with adding a Multiple Choice Question (Only One Answer) asking how often the customer uses the company. Respondents can choose from five different options but only select one. We then proceed to delve deeper, to find out what products are purchased regularly. For this, we have used a Single Text Box as the product range might be too big to use the multiple choice option. This open text option also helps to measure how well product names are recalled. The final question in this section measures customer satisfaction with products, ask for a rating via a Multiple Choice Question (Only One Answer). For this, you can type in our own Answer Choice or select a Pre-made list – Rating Satisfied.

Step 2: Service and Environment

Secondly, we gather more information, using multiple choice questions, on the ordering and delivery process. Simply, type in your chosen response options and select Multiple Choice (Only One Answer). You can select the Display Options of your choice.

Finally, in this section, we ask respondents to rate the service they received. To do this, select Matrix of Choices (Only One Answer per Row). You can type in your own column choices or select a pre-made list by clicking on the drop down arrow.

Step 3: Additional Comments

We then ask respondents for any additional comments they would like to feedback to us. For this, we select Single Text Box, you can select the box size to allow respondents to enter as much information as you would like.

Step 4: Personal Details

We ask customers for their contact details, using the Multiple Textboxes option. Piping can be used here to save time if you are contacting your customer via email, SMS or if the survey is embedded within their account on your website. This is a good opportunity to ask respondent’s to opt in to join your mailing list to receive news and offers on future products.

Step 5: Thank You Page

You are nearly finished building your Customer Service questionnaire! But don’t forget to thank your customers for taking part in your survey. You can modify the text in your Thank You page as well as selecting the web page to redirect respondents to on completion of the survey.
